What is ITPS?
ITPS is iShares $ TIPS UCITS ETF, a UCITS-compliant ETF that BestFolio uses when translating VTIP into a European-broker-friendly allocation. UCITS funds are designed for EU and UK retail access and carry the required investor documents that US-listed ETFs usually lack.
Short-term TIPS; ITPS is broad TIPS (longer duration). The source ticker has 1x exposure and the UCITS substitute has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
